Spinach and Feta Pastry Triangles

1.Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3.Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

4.Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted and most of the moisture has evaporated, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

5.In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill (if using), beaten egg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to combine.

6.Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean, dry surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with butter again. Repeat this process until you have a stack of 4 sheets.

7.Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 4 equal strips lengthwise.

8.Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach and feta filling at the bottom corner of each strip.

9.Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding the triangle along the strip, maintaining the triangular shape until you reach the end of the strip.

10.Place the folded triangles on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.

11.Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and golden brown.

12.Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
